<h1>Report Details Properties: General tab</h1>
<p>You can choose whether to include or omit the following settings in 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report Details </B></span><span>section 
 on the General tab</span>:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report Description</B></span><span>: 
 Select whether to include </span>the short description of the report in 
 the Report Details section. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Prompt Details</B></span><span>: 
 Select whether to include</span> the prompts on the report in the Report 
 Details section. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Filter Details</B></span><span>: 
 Select whether to include </span>the report filter, view filter, and report 
 limits in the Report Details section. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Template Details</B></span>: 
 Select whether to include the objects on the report and the metric definitions 
 in the Report Details section. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can choose whether to include or omit the following settings in 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Prompt </B></span><span>section on the 
 General tab:</span></p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Include Prompt Titles</B></span>: 
 Select an option from the drop-down list</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Inherit<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 Select whether to return to the default document or report setting for 
 report prompt titles. </span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">No Title or Index<span 
 style="font-weight: normal;">: Do not include the prompt title or index 
 in the Prompt Details section.</span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Title and Index<span 
 style="font-weight: normal;">: Include both the prompt title and index 
 in the Prompt Details section. The prompt title is defined when the prompt 
 is created, and the index is a number indicating the order of the prompts 
 in the dataset reports. </span></p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Replacement string 
 for unanswered prompts</B></span>: Select an option from the drop-down list:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Inherit<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 Select whether to return to the default document or report setting for 
 unanswered prompts. </span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Blank<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 Leave the replacement string for unanswered prompts blank. &nbsp;</span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Prompt not answered<span 
 style="font-weight: normal;">: If you do not answer a prompt, then a message 
 stating that the prompt has not been answered will display. </span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">No Selection<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 If you do not select a prompt answer, then a message stating that no selection 
 has been made will display. </span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">All/None<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 If you do not answer the prompt, the word &quot;All&quot; or &quot;None&quot; 
 is displayed. Whether the word “All” or “None” displays depends on the 
 type of prompt. For example, an unanswered object prompt displays as “None”, 
 because no objects are selected. An unanswered filter definition prompt 
 displays as “All” because the report is not filtered and therefore all 
 the objects appear on the report.</span></p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show attribute name 
 for Attribute Element Prompts</B></span><span>: Select an option from the

 Do not display the attribute name in the attribute element prompt for 
 a report. </span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Once<span style="font-weight: normal;">: 
 Display the attribute name in the attribute element prompt only once. 
 </span></p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Repeated before each 
 element<span style="font-weight: normal;">: Display the attribute name 
 in the attribute element prompt with each attribute element. </span></p></li>
	</ul>
</ul>
<p>You can also choose whether to use delimiters around metadata objects 
 names in the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Miscellaneous </B></span>section 
 on the General tab. In this instance, delimiters are special characters 
 around the metadata objects, which set the objects off from the other 
 text. These are the options:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Use delimiters around report 
 object names</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p class="whs3">Inherit<span style="font-weight: normal;">:

 and . (period).</p>
